When Zechariah initially steps down out of heaven at the end of chapter 6, the audience of the book has no idea where he lands. What the narrative does say is that the prophet proceeded to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah to perform the dramatic action of crowning Joshua the high priest. In the following chapter, the narrative seems to place Zechariah in the Temple, as part of the regular Temple personnel of priests and other prophets (7:3).
